Kristi House is dedicated to healing and preventing child abuse and child sex trafficking.
About us
Operating the nationally accredited, State-designated Child Advocacy Center (CAC) for Miami-Dade County, Kristi House is responsible for coordinating the seven community partners involved in the investigation, prosecution and treatment of child abuse cases. Kristi House assists child-victims and their families in navigating the complex services involved in the healing process. We are nationally recognized for our evidence-based, therapeutic expertise in treating child sexual abuse and other forms of child trauma. All services are provided at no charge to victims and families. In 2007 we established the first program in Miami for sex trafficked youth. Project GOLD (Girls Owning their Lives and Dreams), serves girls overcoming commercial sexual exploitation and operates Florida’s first Drop In Center dedicated to trafficked girls. Kristi House built and opened its dedicated Children’s Advocacy Center building in 1999 in Miami’s “Health District,” in close proximity to the courts, medical and social services to facilitate co-locating the Center’s community partners. Kristi House has opened four satellite offices throughout Miami-Dade County (Miami Gardens, Palmetto Bay, Naranja, Homestead) to serve clients closer to their neighborhoods, as well as a Drop In Center for underage trafficked girls. Kristi House’s mental health unit is recognized nationally for its evidence-based practices for child trauma. Since 2012 Kristi House has operated a major federal SAMHSA grant, the Miami C-START Project, for strengthening the system of care for child trauma, especially in the foster care system. The partnership involves national master trainers and intervention developers from major university-partners providing intensive training, practice and support to Kristi House and other providers.

This summer, Project GOLD went on a field trip to the Children's Courthouse to conduct a mock trial with the presiding GRACE Court judge, Judge Zayas. The trial was "Wicked Witch vs Snow White" and Project GOLD members and staff enacted the roles of defendant, plaintiff, attorneys, and witnesses. This interactive experience of our legal system was informative and captivating.
